I don't mind the "Chart Area" tooltip showing when I hover my mouse over an actual chart, but the tooltip is displaying on sheets where there are no charts. It seems like Excel is showing tooltips for hidden sheets even when I am on a sheet with no charts.
How can I disable this in Excel or VBA? I have tried the following:
Excel: File -> Options -> Advanced -> Untick "Show chart element names on hover"
VBA: Application.ShowToolTips = False
I also don't see any property of the chart that I could change that would suppress tooltips.
In Excel 365 (version 2005) I have found a solution (for charts and most other annoying recurring tooltips I came across at least):
Go to Options -> Advanced -> Chart, untick 'Show chart element names on hover'
I couldn't find this anywhere else online, so I thought I'd share, even though this post is somewhat old now.
Might be different or not available for older Excel versions, I'm not sure...
You can turn of chart screen tips in the following way (with Excel 2019)
File -> Options -> Advanced -> Chart
then uncheck "Show chart element names on hover" and "Show data point values on hover"
I re-installed Office and the problem disappeared.
I tried reproducing the problem in other workbooks, but I only ever got the problem in a particular workbook, and the problem persisted in that workbook even if I saved it with a new name. I re-installed Office a few days ago and have not experienced the problem since.
I have an Listbox Multiselect ActiveX control in a Sheet with Freeze Panes. The problem is that when I try to select items the mouseover icon is the standard excel cross instead of the arrow. I know that this question was asked before, but I didn't find any answer.
Thank u in advanced for help
I tested, and I came up with a few interesting observations.
In the ribbon, go to the developer tab. Make sure that the Design
Mode is not on.
When I first froze panes on the sheet, the freeze line went through the listbox I created. This caused the behavior you are describing with the cross-hairs and being unable to select.
Then I moved the listbox. Still same problem. I tried clicking on various cells around the sheet and in the ribbon area, with no change in behavior.
When I clicked to another sheet and back again, it started working as expected. Normal pointer mouse. I could select multiple, and unselect as needed.
Based on what I've tried, it seems that making sure Design Mode is off, and clicking to another sheet and back again may fix the problem.
I have used VBA code to hide some rows. These rows are hidden when I click a check box.
The problem I have now is - the check boxes associated with each row will not hide. This also interferes with my original VBA code to hide the rows and stops working. I would like to hide these check boxes with the rows.
Please can you advise?
You need to set the checkboxes to "Move and Size With Cells." The last time I did this, with Excel 2003 it was easy: just right-click, choose "Properties" and choose that option. Now if you try that you'll see the option, but it's disabled:
So instead you need to access the more modern-looking format menu in Excel 2007 onwards. I did it by clicking the little "more" arrow on the Drawing Tools tab's Format group. For some reason it's enabled there. Once you set it your checkbox will hide with its row:
I have a workbook that has a combo box list in it and works fine until I try to share
the book, then it stops working. I have since found out that this is how Excel is set up!
I have a validation list that works but will only show 8 lines whereas the combo will show all 22 lines at once, which is what I was trying to achieve.
Can I use a form control to work around this and if so how do I do it ?
I have just tested this, adding an ActiveX Combo-box to a sheet, linking it to a list of cells and sharing the workbook, the Combo-box drop down is unaffected.
If you are trying to insert a combo-box to an already shared workbook, then the insert menu will be greyed out, to do this you must open the workbook in exclusive mode by going to Review > Share Workbook and deselecting the share tick box.
Once you have it open in exclusive mode you can then add in the combo-box and re-share.
In excel 2011 on the mac, I have a spread sheet with two controls. A combobox and a button. the combo box is named Crops and i want to access the value of that box when clicking the button.
The obvious Crops.Value that would work in windows office does not seem to work and i get an error saying the Crops object is missing.
Is this (simple) task possible with VBA on the Mac?
ok solved it. Active X objects do not work on the mac. You have to use Forms elements and then if you want to access the value of a dropdown this is the VBA code. Hope it helps someone else.
assuming Crops was the combobox, Itm will have the value.
With ActiveSheet.DropDowns("Crops")
Itm = .list(.ListIndex)
End With
